Baton Rouge Public Schools

Baton Rouge has a reputation of a place where you need to put your kids in private schools to get a good education. But I have a hard time believing that there are no good public school optoins in the city.
Please educate me on the public school system in the area. This is something I get asked about all the time by my clients.

You can put your kids in magnet schools and they'll be fine if they are at least average intelligent or slightly above.

A well earned reputation

EBR has some really good magnets. Your kids have to score 40th percentile + and maintain at 2.5 gpa.
Elementary: Westdale Academic Magnet, Mayfair Magnet (K-8), BR FLAIM, and BRCVPA
Middle School: Sherwood Magnet, Mayfair Magnet, and McKinley Magnet
High School: Baton Rouge Magnet High

There are good options if you’re comfortable with your children head butting an under privileged youth’s knuckles

I taught in 2 schools here then quit teaching. Absolutely horrific.

Br high is great academically. Some of the lower school magnet are good as well … the real benefit to the BR private schools and UHigh are with the shared expectation of success for the majority of students. That builds a solid social network for beyond high school.

It depends on the students ability too. I have a brother that went to Broadmoor and he became an MD. My ex sister also went there and she’s an optometrist.

BR is really tough for schools
On one hand you have the public schools where you run the chance of your kid being friends with a child named “Cash” or “Shanquisha”. He will grow up wanting a charger and doing burnouts at midnight on the streets of BR.
The other option is a private school where they will be friends with “Braxton” or Brynnleigh”. And you’ll be forced to join a travel ball team.
Truly a dilemma

My son went to a private school from pre K through 8th grade but his school closed down. He got into BR Magnet High so we sent him there. He made straight A’s but hated it there and missed playing baseball. Lee Magnet now Liberty was starting a sports program. He transferred to Lee Magnet after freshman year and started in baseball for two years. A lot of culture at Lee but not nearly like other EBR schools. My son got into more mischief than his African American teammates because most of the parents were involved and strict.
Very limited social options for a middle classed white kid at either BR High or Liberty. At BR High you will not fit in with the kids there because most are weird and you are in the minority at Liberty.
I will say that Liberty did prepare him well for college as he is pulling a 3.8 GPA. He is at LSU now and in a fraternity so not hurting on the social scene.

Mayfair is a good public school. I’ve heard good things about Basis if you’re into the charter route.
I think that’s about it.

There are good public schools in EBR Parish. They’re called Zachary and Central schools. Totally separate from EBR school board which is why they’re two good school districts.

Short of BRHS or UHigh, your belief is incorrect.
It’s truly unreal how horrible the public school system is in BR. If you can’t afford private school for your kids and you love them, move elsewhere.

My kid went to Sherwood Middle then BRMHS. I was impressed with the teachers and academic rigor. Kid graduated with honors and got an academic full ride and just finishing freshman year in an engineering program. Highly recommend both schools.

The terrible public schools is a large reason that Ascension Parish has blown up.
